People are making a lot of mistakes with Bitcoin and that is not that best but also not that bad because you can learn from you mistakes and can do next time better so that is nice.
But the most mistakes that is made with Bitcoin is that people are selling it too early because they dont have the patience for it.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

yeah it is a basic problem of the bitcoin because everyone does not know when the price of bitcoin will stop moving or when bitcoin prices will rise or fall so it is normal that a person experiencing wrong any buy/sell when the trade. in addition there are also many more problems can you see from the wide range of users

My worst mistake is probably when I trusted different HYIPs. I never get the chance to earn my money back. All of them ran away. I also lost a lot of money from bitcoin doubler websites. They paid 3 times and then after someone invested 5BTC and 1BTC, they just ran away. After learning my mistake from doubler sites, I have come up to an idea of doing referrals on those websites to earn money though.

If you're a newbie, you will probably fall victim onto one of those ponzi scams as they are being promoted in most facebook bitcoin groups. The thing is, those people who are promoting those websites only want to make money out of referrals.

That's the only real bussiness. Attracting greed, to rip of.

But the most mistakes that is made with Bitcoin is that people are selling it too early because they dont have the patience for it.

If you feel that your mistake was getting into bitcoins in the first place, then why are you still here ?
I think that you shouldn't look at it only profit wise. Sure, you made a financial error, but that doesn't mean your next move is going to be bad one as well.
I suggest you re-asses your moves, and don't give up on bitcoin as a whole, judging by a single error you made.

put money in HYIP investment sites, too quickly sell altcoins, which when it was increased to 1000% more Sad

Well I did that 2 mistakes when I'm still not able to know those things about bitcoin, there is no such legit hyip. I though it could help me to earn more daily without doing nothing but the saying is true that there is no such easy money without effort.
I also experienced it at the time I joined the bitcoin early and very stupid of me to want to get a big advantage I try to invest in hyip sites and Ponzi. I invested more in PBminning 0.2 BTC. but when I get bitcoin with difficulty. and mining sites ponzi scam it be in a few months. I have not had time to get ROI

What's the worst mistake you did with your Bitcoin? It can vary from starting to use Bitcoin to buying dumped Altcoin to gambling.

The worst mistake I made with Bitcoin is... Buying cloud mining hashrate. I bought 0.02 GH/s CEX.IO hash rate voucher at SEOClerk for $2 USD - or maybe $1 USD. I thought with 0.02 GH/s, I would be making a profit in half a year.. And I was wrong.

Well, I bought using the free five dollars coupon. So that does not count as making a mistake with Bitcoin. However, the slow profit lead me to buying hashing power from CEX.IO and later on.. ZeusHash using the Bitcoin I earned from signature campaign.. Again, I thought I would be making profit in a few months. Till today, I'm sure I have not make any profit from both the company yet. CEX.IO stopped their cloud mining operation and.. ZeusHash.. What do you think.?

Edited (15 May 2016):

First edit since this thread was posted. Anyway, after reaching more than 100 pages (103 to be exact), today I will list down some common ones.

1. Gambling
2. Not knowing Bitcoin earlier.
3. Participating in HYIP & Wrong trading technique (both Altcoin and day trading).
4. Sending to wrong address & lost of wallet.
5. Cloud mining & scammed trade.

My worst mistake with bitcoin is trust hyip program. Last month there hyip named cryptoprime. I give a deposit large enough there, because I see the web it has been running long enough and it looks legit.
For the first deposit smoothly without any problems, but for the second deposit was never entered in the accounts, they reasoned there blockchains problem. And BUMP 5 days later there website is mising from network. haha

My advice do not ever believe hyip program.

See it in a different light. You've saved your profits. Bitcoin could have developed differently and you would have much to lose. So I would not call this a real loss. A real loss is when you would lose the private key to your Bitcoins.

My worst mistake.

Last year i got 1 btc when the price was around 300$ per BTC.

I sold it fast for paypal and skrill.

After 6 months the price was 455$ per BTC.

155$ wasted profit.Sh*t.  Grin

this is not a mistake. everyone buying selling their coins immediately because bitcoin price is really unpredictable. and in past days it was even more difficult to predict something about bitcoin. that time peoples are confuse and fear about bitcoin.
I think you can still get profit by buying btc now and selling them after halving.

It is basically impossible to predict what will happen with the Bitcoin value, one week it is stable and nothing much it happening with it, then the next week it is losing $50 in value, and then the next week it has gone up $60 and it has a lot of momentum that is stopped once Friday rolls around.

I would buy now and sell slightly before the halving, though, as the price will go up from investors buying their presumably last cheap coins before everything ends up getting adjusted and we wait another 4 years.

Actually if you are into investment and believe the power of bitcoin, you will consider buying now as the hype of halving fever are already felt in the community. Today's price offers us an opportunity to profit in the future if we buy it now.

1) Sold it away at US$ 300 each.
2) Used it on ponzis. Got scammed a small amount.
3) Stored the daily proceeds from Genesis-Mining on my wallet. The transaction fees to send funds from that wallet is crazy. Best to send dust to online wallets.

I think the selling of your bitcoins at that amount is just fine, that is not stupid as long as you profited in that transaction. The worst mistake you did in my opinion in when you invested in ponzi investments, they are the cancer of the community, they take the money of the innocent people who wants to achieve their dreams for having a lot of money without realizing that investments are too good to be true.

yeah most people made the same mistake and keep repeating. it also happened to me? bitcoin give ease to gamble right?
and it is something that is bad for me personally. because I always lose in gambling and keep going back to play.

Why do you regret it..?? isn't that lucrative for you ..?? . Because you are selling at a price high enough and it can make you enjoy the advantages of both. I think you are less grateful for what you do, the most important now is to avoid a bad thing
